I'm in the planning stages right now of an electric build. The body will be a highly modified 61 Caddie coupe. It will use 25 batteries and...
I bought a new set of American Racing smoothies and moons from a guy here in town for $240. He has several sets.
The last show I entered was a real joke. About 200 cars in all. 30 prizes awarded. 5 went to the car dealer that sponsored the show, 4 for brand...
Use a second vehicle to pull it on the trailer. You might also beg, borrow or rent a winch. Harbor freight sells an electric for a C note. If...
You are going to need a way to isolate the radio and antenna from the vehicle's ground. The best way I know of is a plastic box for the radio. I...
Did McNamar Boiler and Tank construct the vault? If they'd used boiler construction techniques the car would be ready for the road in a week. It...
I mounted mids and highs on each side of the rear window under the headliner and put a pair of 18" subs behind the back seat. Of course my car has...
That looks like a Model T. The J was nearly identical but had only 1 wiper i think. The photo has a custom grill and is missing the hood ornament....
Have you seen Daisy (Catherine Bach) lately? The years have not been kind to her.
I ran a bone stock 250 in my Hup for a tear and a half. I bought it on ebay for $200 mileage unknown. I replaced it last fall with a fresh 292,...
Isn't seatbelt use required in NJ? The trooper and the Gov should be ticketed for that. Then there's driving like a madman at a high rate of speed...
Most folks will do the foundation before the building. Its easier than holding the building up off the ground while the concrete hardens.
If that gets driven over 20 mph I predict the owner will not be a 60 year old truck driver from Arizona.
You might find someone on here that lives near Seward that would be willing to accept the check endorsed from you to them of course. They would be...
This pic has been posted here before. Apparently it is only driven in extreme crosswinds. Shoving the radiator sideways against the exhaust has to...
The radiator I found for my Hup is 17" wide and 20" tall including tanks. Its the perfect size for a 16" fan. Mine came from an early 70"s Ford...
Well I've got electric windows so I might as well have electric locks. I'm using the original latches though. Anybody have any luck putting...
:confused: So saturday I went to the local Ace Hardware to pick up some upholstery tacks for a chair I was redoing. When I walked out of the store...
For the last 2 years I've been driving my car around on a set of ghetto low rider wheels. You know the type... chrome reverse with 80 gold spokes...
I used an old Arvin heater with a 6volt fan. Under the louvers I made a couple of coils of nichrome wire I salvaged from an old clothes dryer. I...
The Walrus
Yeah. Wait for Tom. His cast headers are worth the wait.
I'm sure I'll catch hell about this but... subframes are traditional. Now before you blow a gasket consider that builders have been using...
I've always used Never Dull and lots of elbow grease.
Keep in mind the 292 is longer than the 283. You'd have more side room but less fan room. Then there's also the distinctive sound of the 6 with...
I've got other things that ride between my legs. My car has a flat floor so I use one of those cheap plastic low console jobs screwed to it. Holds...
Forgot the pics dude.
Easy fix. Release a bunch of snakes in the garage. Mice will vacate.
Don't forget to pay your yearly ASCAP and BMI fees in addition to purchasing the music and equipment. Since these will be public performances you...
I'm in the planning stages of a Cadillac custom roadster now. It will be a post-war bodied open wheeled car. Hoodless with the most unusual...
